As expected, some people are loving IT, while others prefer the original. “Your hair is winter fire/ January embers/My heart burns there, too.”Īndy Muschietti’s I T is a magical experience, bringing nightmares, nostalgia and new memories. Don’t read this article before heading to Derry. But one in particular is having a profound effect on some viewers. I agree with others who have requested more updates – Tangled, Mulan, and some of the others I’d like a snapshot of as I know nothing about them.The new ‘IT’ features Pennywise and an incredible cast of Losers’ Club members. Same with Aladdin and the lion king – I was pleased to see these on your older lists. I still feel like the little mermaid has some things that are too “dark” for her to handle. Among Disney, she loves the jungle book, Robin Hood, Mary poppins, aristocats. So still holding parts of it back for later. I also watch in entirety EVERYTHING by myself before allowing her to view, even the ones I know well – for instance, I thought all of beauty and the beast would be ok based on my memory of when it first premiered during my teen years – I loved it and couldn’t remember anything questionable in it, so I bought it for my daughter on DVD but when I sat to view it as a refresher before giving it to her, my “mommy eyes” saw things my teen eyes never gave a thought to. I appreciate this guideline and film details for the ones I’m not personally familiar with. Thanks so much for this list! I have been introducing my 4-yr old special needs daughter to Disney and other kids’ programs slowly over the years. Tangled and Frozen are great stories/music without the really spooky stuff. – Ones that are generally safer for the 4-5 year olds tend to be most of the other ones that are listed. Our daughter is now 7 and still is not ready to watch this one for that reason. Totally unnecessary, and ruins the film for younger viewers, without really adding anything to the film.

Such a good movie otherwise, but why did they have to go over the top with all the voodoo/spirits and such. – The worst was probably Princess and the Frog. – Aladdin has a couple of scenes with Jafar that spooked our daughter. – Short scenes in some of the classic films like Snow White in the forest, or Sleeping beauty with Maleficent… only a couple of minutes of each film, but a bit spooky for some in the 2-5 crowd. so just a warning for those out there with children who have trouble with the more spooky aspects of films: But what has always given her nightmares/problems were when the enemy is portrayed as spooky/ghostly/evil spirits…etc. Our daughter was never usually bothered by bits of animated violence, provided it was either cartoonish, or did not result in death. Obviously so much depends on how easily your kid(s) scare, and what it is that scares them. 6 out on DVD: Įxcellent resource, thanks for sharing. I just looked and see that it is included on a Disney collection called Disney Animation Collection vol. I’ve written a review of the book though, here: (see more about the film ) Sorry I can’t vouch for age-appropriateness! That long film isn’t readily available, but I’m sure the short can be found somewhere. It was released theatrically in 1941 with live action parts about a fellow visiting the Disney studios, etc., and the actual Reluctant Dragon story was included as a short within the longer film. As for the Reluctant Dragon, I assume you’re asking about the film version, which unfortunately I haven’t seen. Oh you’re welcome! I’m so glad if it’s helpful.
